Monday, 7th October

 Hello everybody!!      

Today in class of
Social Sciences we have done several things.

First Paqui has asked if we had whatched the videos that she put on the blog the day before, and any person has seen.

Then Paqui has put a video from Youtube that belong to the glorious revolution, this video shows us that the Glorious Revolution started in 1688 and its consequences are the stablishment of a parlamentary monarchy and a new dynasty in England. Charles was decapitated and James the II tried to rule as an absolute monarchy, and also the video says that only the landowners could vote in the elections between other things.

Here you have the video:

After that Paqui has said that with this video we have finished the point 2 and we are going to start Baroque art.

To start this point Paqui has showed a PowerPoint presentation about Baroque art on the whiteboard.

BAROQUE ART become from pejorative word to define an exhuberant and exaggerated art in contrast to Renaissance and New Classicism. Baroque art was a style during 17th century and part of 18th century. 

Paqui has said that baroque art appeared because the artists started to do the apposite than in the Renaissance.

Then Paqui has drawn a
Solomonic column on the blackboard.

Later we have copied also from the white-board the differences between Baroque art and Renaissance Art.

Paqui has copied on the blackboard the structure of the scheme that we have to do about Baroque art and we have to do for tomorrow.

We have also had time to correct the first part of the scheme of "Baroque Art": Architecture, with the main features,artists and works.

Today also we have also copied four words in the glossary :

-Overthrow: derribar

-Dethrow: destronar

-Landowner: terratenientes

-Solomonie column: columna salomonica

SEE YOU TOMORROW!!
